One top download that you may be missing is Tubi.
It’s a totally free app with no subscription costs – but an enormous library of content.
The catch is that you’ll need to sit through ads, but that’s a small price to pay for free television.
Tubi says it has over 250 live TV channels, but more get added over time.
Channels cover news, weather, sports, entertainment, and more.
But there’s also a large catalog of on-demand movies and TV shows you can watch any time.
It’s totally legal and is available directly through the Apple App Store on iPhone.

iPhone tricks to try today
Here are some of the best…
- Typing cursor – When typing, hold down the space bar to turn your keyboard into a trackpad, letting you move around words and sentences more easily
- Close all Safari tabs – To do this in one go, simply hold the overlapped squares in the bottom right-hand corner, and press close all tabs
- Delete lots of photos quickly – Hold down on a photo and then drag your finger diagonally in Photos to select lots of images at once, then hit delete
- Convert currency quickly – Swipe down from the top of your Home screen, then tap in the bar and type a currency (like €200) and it will automatically covert to your local currency
- Check if you’re due a battery upgrade – Batteries inside smartphones degrade over time. Just go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health, and check out the Maximum Capacity reading. Generally a battery is considered worn when you’re down to 80% capacity. If you’re below, you can buy a battery swap from Apple
- Move apps around faster – Hold an app until it starts wiggling, then (while still holding) tap other apps, causing them to stack so you can move them around easier
